Saturday’s final NBA match was thrilling, edgy, and full of three-pointers. The Golden State Warriors put on a show with 21 three pointers to defeat the Sacramento Kings 127-123. The Kings produced 20 three-pointers, making it 41 three-pointers in total—a new NBA record for most three-pointers in a single game.

Steph Curry, who hit 10 three pointers and a game high 42
points, called the game fun and “pretty crazy” with all the 3s.

“It’s a fun way to play, especially when you’re shooting a
high percentage,” said Curry. “You can shoot as many 3s as you want to, but
shooting a high percentage the way it was tonight on both ends was pretty
crazy.”

Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr described the match as “an incredible
offensive display” and but admitted his side gave away too many pointers
through turnovers.

“Just an incredible offensive display by both teams,” Kerr
said. “The problem for us was the turnovers (13). Every time we turned the ball
over it was a 3 or a dunk. That’s what kept them in the game.”
